Ruffled Skirts

This cute skirt is from Sweetie Pie Bakery

"Mrs. Heaven"

Many years ago I was helping in one of the 2nd or 3rd grade classroom and one of the little boys kept calling me Mrs. Heaven. The teacher noticed it and corrected him after a few times and he apologized. I thought it was pretty sweet.
I have thought about that a few times since then and how kind and respectful this young boy was to me.

One of our children brought it up again yesterday and we all smiled and my heart was once again touched. I remember it with fondness and it always brings a smile to my heart.

It reminds me of how good people are and how important it is to be kind and respectful. It also reminds me to be pleasant so that if someone does once again call me Mrs. Heaven I will be worthy of the name.

Just Gotta Love a Good Book! But are books really for reading?

Several other ideas for using book pages here too!


The couples favorites...given as favors. Maybe these books are for reading? From bridesmaid.com


Not for reading, but maybe for writing or sketching. Sketch book favors from Martha Stewart Weddings


Fabric Wrapped books, with guests names on the binding and a matching bookmark inside the book. This would be a great journal or sketch book idea. From amorologyweddings

Ribbon

Sheer ribbon and ??? What is that leafy garland with it? It's a nice and simple, clean look blowing in the breeze. Style Me Pretty



I like this look! Ruffled

The way the ribbon was tied together in smaller sections instead of one long section adds character.


A great way to add color. The Brides Cafe



Ribbons on chairs is a nice look that we see often. A few are found on this blog searching CHAIRS in the archives. This chair with green, tan, cream color ribbons is from Green Wedding Shoes


Easy way to add color to a solid table cloth. These were found on Etsy

Paper and Pencil for A Grateful Heart

I am so glad that we have an easy and fast way to record things in writing. The fabulous pencil & paper way of doing things is still my favorite, though I do love the computer options too. But, what if the power is out or the Internet is down or I'm not by a computer? I still need paper and pencil! I keep a planner pretty close to me, a tablet and pen in my bag, and a notebook and pencil by my computer. Paper and pencil often serves as my memory.

For me, a fine point clicker pencil just can't be beat! Second best is a pencil sharpener to keep a regular pencil pin-point sharp. I like a fine point pen too! Colored pencils are pretty sweet! And crayons! And markers ... !
